We are continuing on with our review, and can anybody tell us what we are reviewing? Can anybody tell us what Drawing #1is all about? What's happening here? Anybody?
OK, I remind you that Adam Kadmon has within Him the inclusive name, the all inclusive name, or sometimes called the unique name, YHVH, and that this unique name comes out from Adam Kadmon and surrounds Him in the form of four different spellings of that name. The first one is, the spelling, what is the spelling of the Holy Name that comes from the YoD of YHVH?
COMMENT: YHVH.
PASTOR VITALE: No, YHVH is the all inclusive name that is inside of Adam Kadmon, and each of those four letters, YHVH, comes out from inside of Adam Kadmon and surrounds Him on the outside.
So there are four YHVHs on the outside of Adam Kadmon. How do we distinguish between those four Holy Names?
COMMENT: By the letters and by the numerical value.
PASTOR VITALE: By the numerical value of their letters. Excellent.
How do we distinguish the Holy Name that's associated with the YoD? What is the numerical value of the Holy Name that is associated with the YoD of YHVH? What is the distinctive name or the signature of the Holy Name of YHVH that's associated with the YoD of the all inclusive name? Please raise your hand and answer into the microphone please.
COMMENT: Keter?
PASTOR VITALE: No.
Is it BaN(52)? What is the Holy Name associated with the YOD? Is it BaN(52)?
COMMENT: SAG (63)?
PASTOR VITALE: No, but you are on the right track. Do you know the answer? OK.
COMMENT: 72?
PASTOR VITALE: AB (72) is the distinctive name or the signature of the Holy Name associated with the YOD, and what is the numerical value,or how will we describe, or what is the signature of the Holy Name associated with the first H of that unique name?
COMMENT: SAG (63).
PASTOR VITALE: SAG (63).
Can anyone tell us the signature or the numerical value of the Holy Name associated with the second H of the unique name? Anybody remember?
COMMENT: MaH (45).
PASTOR VITALE: MaH (45). That's right. Now one to go. I think I said that wrong, I'm sorry, it wasn't the second H. MaH (45) is the V, YHV.
What is the Holy Name associated with the second H of the unique name?
COMMENT: BaN(52).
PASTOR VITALE: That's close enough.
Who can tell us which of the four Holy Names we have been studying for the last few weeks? What have we been focusing on? Which of the four Holy Names?
COMMENT: SaG (63).
PASTOR VITALE: SaG (63), and SaG (63) is the signature of which letter of the Holy Name?
COMMENT: First H.
PASTOR VITALE: The first H.
So what we see on the board here, although it is all broken up. We see YOD, HeY, VaV, HeH. That's the Holy Name called SaG (63) associated with the first H of that unique name. What are we trying to prove here? Does anybody remember what we are trying to prove here? OK, let's do it this way. What is the name of the Sefirot that's associated with SaG (63)? OK, answer that question.
COMMENT: Chokhmah.
PASTOR VITALE: No, but you are close. It is the next one down.
COMMENT: Binah.
PASTOR VITALE: Binah.
Yes, Binah is associated with the first H of that unique name, and what we are trying to do...now remember, Binah has within her...how many Sefirot are within Binah herself?
COMMENT: Ten.
PASTOR VITALE: Yes.
Binah has ten Sefirot within herself, and we are trying to locate the particular area or the particular Sefirot where this SaG (63) or where this numerical value of 63 exists, and as I've explained before, I am a woman, but there is only one part of me that designates me as a woman, and that is the physical part of me that can produce a child, and that is my womb and the associated female genitalia and organs.
So Binah which has ten Sefirot within her also has within her the number 63, and we have found out that which one of Binah's ten Sefirot is the Sefirah with a numerical value of 63 can be found? Which one of Binah's ten Sefirot?
COMMENT: Malkhut/Tevunah.
PASTOR VITALE: Excellent.
So with Binah's ten Sefirot called Malkhut, and what is the difference between Malkhut and Tevunah? What is Tevunah?
COMMENT: Discernment.
PASTOR VITALE: That's her function. She is discernment, but why do we say Tevunah rather than Malkhut? Does anybody remember why we say Tevunah instead of Malkhut?
Tevunah is a personification of Malkhut. Tevunah is the personification of Malkhut, and we are told that the numerical value of 63, actually we are told in our textbook, The Tree of Life, that Tevunah is SaG (63). Tevunah is SaG (63), that's what we are told. And Tevunah is Malkhut, and Malkhut is the second HeY of the Holy Name that's called Binah. The second HeY alone only has a numerical value of 5, but since we are dealing with Binah which has a numerical value of 63, the HeY is spelled out. How is the HeY spelled out in SaG (63)?
COMMENT: HeY.
PASTOR VITALE: And what is its numerical value?
COMMENT: 15.
PASTOR VITALE: Excellent.
So in Binah, the way we differentiate the Holy Name associated with the first H which is Binah is by spelling out the letters of the Holy Name with YODs. See we added a YOD over here, and we added a YOD over here. We added a YOD to the first letter, a YOD to the second letter, and we added an Aleph to the third letter, and a YOD to the fourth letter.
So we see that Tevunah, which is supposed to be SaG (63), has a numerical value of HeY which is 15. So we have a predicament. Our textbook or as our books would say, our sages or the rabbis, who supposedly got this great revelation from above, they tell us that Binah's Malkhut, which is called Tevunah should have a numerical value of 63, but that Malkhut only has a numerical value of 15. That's our problem, that's the problem that we are dealing with today.
Binah's Malkhut, called Tevunah, is spelled HeY, and it has a numerical value of 15, but our textbooks tell us that, that Malkhut should have a numerical value of 63. Is there anybody who does not understand the problem. That's the problem that we are dealing with. Is everybody OK?
Now, we are shown through Gematria, through numerical manipulation, I call it numerical manipulation, how Tevunah is going to increase from 15 to 63, because the authorities told us that Tevunah is 63, and now they are going to show us how Tevunah is 63 by manipulating the numerical value of the letters. Is everybody OK? So we now know the problem. The problem is that Tevunah is supposed to have a numerical value of 63, but it only has a numerical value of 15. OK, that's the problem. The method of solving the problem is what? What is the method of solving the problem?
COMMENT: We have to find the x. We have to have the equal amount on each side...
PASTOR VITALE: No, not really. It is not wrong, but it is not really the answer.
The method is the manipulation of the Hebrew letters, the manipulation of the numerical value of the Hebrew letters. That is the method that we will use to solve the problem. The manipulation of the numerical value of the Hebrew letters, and we are dealing with spiritual forces. You cannot do this with arithmetic. This is the difference between regular physics and quantum mechanics. The rules completely change when you deal with these letters as spiritual forces. You cannot apply the rules that you apply to normal letters or normal mathematics.
So this is a real exercise in getting our Christ mind up and putting our carnal mind down. Our carnal mind says, what are you crazy? And getting our Christ mind up and looking at things that are impossible, yet because they are spiritual and because God is in control, they work. Is everybody OK?
What we are doing, and what these charts are all about is a demonstration of how Binah's Malkhut called Tevunah whose attribute is discernment is going to increase from a numerical value of 15 to a numerical value of what?
COMMENT: 63.
PASTOR VITALE: 63. You are doing great. Everybody is doing great.
Now, the first manipulation of the letters, can anybody look at the left side of the board, Drawing #1a and tell us, what is the first manipulation that has affected everyone of those four letters? What have we done to everyone of those four letters according to Drawing #1a, that you never hear of in arithmetic? What have we given them that they didn't have before? What have we done to this letter here, this letter YOD, what have we done to it?
COMMENT: You have given them an inside and an outside.
PASTOR VITALE: Yes.
We have broken each letter down into an inside and an outside, and we have given the same numerical value to the inside as to the outside which has resulted in the numerical value of the letter, what?
COMMENT: Doubling.
PASTOR VITALE: Doubling. Oh boy, you guys are getting it. You guys, you brethren, you sons, you are getting it, all right, all right! Everything is cool.
So the first thing we have done here is that we have given each of the four letters, what are the four letters that we are dealing with?
COMMENT: YHVH.
PASTOR VITALE: Exactly.
We have given each of those four letters....because we are dealing with SaG (63), these letters are all spelled out. We have given each of them an inside and an outside, and we have effectively doubled the value. Of each letter, we have doubled the value of each letter.
Right now we are not dealing with Binah. We are just dealing with Tevunah which is the HeY (15) which is the Malkhut of Binah, and we see...now this is picking up from last week, of course, that the outside...well, we had a HeY (15), and we divided that HeY (15) into a what? Does anybody remember? This is from last week now. What did we divide that HeY (15) into?
COMMENT: A ten and a five.
PASTOR VITALE: Yes, a HeH (10) and a H (5), and what happened to the H (5)? Where did it move to?
COMMENT: It went below.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, we were told that the H (5) went down below the curtain, and the curtain separates Tevunah from what? What does the curtain separate Tevunah from?
COMMENT: Ze'ir Anpin.
PASTOR VITALE: OK.
Actually now we are talking about the head of Adam Kadmon and Ze'ir Anpin is what part of Adam Kadmon's head?
COMMENT: Nose.
PASTOR VITALE: The nose.
Tevunah is what part of Adam Kadmon's head? Does anybody know?
COMMENT: Left ear.
PASTOR VITALE: The left ear, and where is the right ear? Can anyone tell us where the right ear is? Where is the right ear?
COMMENT: Binah.
PASTOR VITALE: Binah is the right ear.
YOD, HeY, VaV is the right ear and Tevunah, the final HeH, is the left ear. So we are told that, that H (5) went down into Adam Kadmon's nose, and then the next time we picked up this study we are told, oh, but that H (5) had an outside and an inside. So did the whole H (5) go down or did just a part of the H (5) go down? Is the whole H (5) down below the line or just a part of it?
COMMENT: A part of it.
PASTOR VITALE: And which part of it went below the line?
COMMENT: The outside.
PASTOR VITALE: The outside of the H (5) descended from Adam Kadmon's left ear down into His nose, but the inside of the H (5) remains above the line in Adam Kadmon's left ear, but remember when we gave each letter an inside and an outside, both the inside and the outside retained the full numerical value, so that means that the outside of the H (5) went down with a numerical value of 5, but the inside of the H (5) remained above the line in Adam Kadmon's left ear with a numerical value of?
COMMENT: 5.
PASTOR VITALE: 5.
Now that makes sense, doesn't it? You divide something in two, and it doubles. We divided the H (5) in two, and we now have HeH (10). OK, makes no sense to the rational mind. Everything in the spirit is the exact opposite. OK, now that was all review from the last message.
Now in this message...see no outside or inside can really remain by itself. It is like saying if the inside of my palm is compared to the back side of my hand or the outside of my hand, you can't really separate an inside from an outside. When you separate an inside from an outside, the inside or the outside that's separate is craving to be joined by the part of him that's missing. So we had an inside of a H (5) above the line in Adam Kadmon's left ear, and we see that the outside of the HeH (10)...let me back up a little.
Above the line we had...now remember that HeY (15) that was Tevunah broke up into a 10 and a 5, so we still have this HeH (10) in Adam Kadmon's left ear. Can you see that? That HeH (10) is still up there, and the inside of the H (5) is up there. OK, so now we are pretty much up to today's lesson. Everything previous to this was review.
So we have the inside of the H (5) above the line which is Adam Kadmon's left ear. An inside cannot remain by itself. Now also remember that Binah is moving down, all of Binah including Tevunah is moving down into Ze'ir Anpin which is Adam Kadmon's nose. So that means everything above Tevunah moves down. When Tevunah moves down, everything above it moves down. When I lower my hand, my whole arm and shoulder goes down. Everything is moving down, and we are going to see that the reality of Binah is going to descend into Tevunah. In other words, if it were possible, if it were physiologically possible for me to descend...if my legs were to go through this floor, then my torso would be resting on the floor. My torso would be in the place where my legs were. Can you hear this? If my body had the ability to pierce through this floor, so half up to my torso my legs would be below the floor, and my torso would be standing on the floor. Anybody not know what I'm talking about? OK.
So Binah is coming down into the place where Tevunah is, because Tevunah is moving down into where? Where is Tevunah moving down to?
COMMENT: Ze'ir Anpin.
PASTOR VITALE: Ze'ir Anpin.
What part of Adam Kadmon's face?
COMMENT: Nose.
PASTOR VITALE: His nose.
OK, so the letter that's directly above the H (5) is what? We are working with this H (5) here. We are working with this single H (5), and the letter that's directly above it is? I'm pointing right at it.
COMMENT: The H.
PASTOR VITALE: The H what?
COMMENT: HeH (10).
PASTOR VITALE: The HeH (10).
We have broken the HeY (15) into a HeH (10) and a H (5). So we have the inside of the H (5), and now we are going to take the outside of the HeH (10), the HeH (10) is a letter directly above the letter 5, we are going to take the outside of that HeH (10) and join it to the inside of the H (5), because everything is moving down.
So the outside of the H (5) moved down below the line into Ze'ir Anpin, and now the outside of the HeH (10) has moved down and joined with the inside of the H (5). Everything is moving down, a side at a time. We are not dealing with whole letters anymore. We are dealing with the inside and the outside of the letters.
Now we have a problem because that which is underneath the outside of the HeH (10) is half the size of the HeH (10). The HeH (10) is now resting upon a H (5), and there is a spiritual law that says that, that which is beneath cannot be smaller than that which is above. How do you know that Sheila? It says it in the book. We have a textbook. We are studying Lurianic Kabbalah.
So if what is underneath is smaller than what's above, what do you do? Anybody, what do you do?
COMMENT: You increase the foundation.
PASTOR VITALE: You increase what's underneath. Well that make sense doesn't it?
So we are going to increase the H (5) by 5. So now we have an inside which has a numerical value of 10, and an outside which has a numerical value of 10. Is everybody OK?
So the inside of the H (5) that went down into Ze'ir Anpin increases by 5, because the inside of the H (5) that went down is still above the line. The inside of the H (5) that went down into Ze'ir Anpin increases by 5 to accommodate the outside of the HeH (10), and the inside of the H (5) has now increased to 20. How did the inside of the H (5) increase to 20? Well, we got 10 points that we took from the outside of the HeH (10), and then we have the 5 points that the inside increased to match the HeH (10). So that which had a numerical value of 5 now has a numerical value of what? It was originally a numerical value of 5, and it now has a numerical value of ?
COMMENT: 10.
PASTOR VITALE: 10 plus?
COMMENT: 5, 15.
PASTOR VITALE: And plus 5?
COMMENT: 20.
PASTOR VITALE: 20.
So it now has a numerical value of 20. We started with 5, we added 10, and then we added another 5. So that which was 5 is now 20. It is quadrupled. The numerical value of the H (5) which is really just half of the H (5) has quadrupled. It makes no sense to your carnal mind at all. This teaching is killing your carnal mind. Die, die, and it is killing your carnal mind. Does anybody have a question so far? Can anybody tell us by way of review what we are doing here? What is this increase all about? You want to try?
COMMENT: To bring life to Ze'ir Anpin.
PASTOR VITALE: Well, that's true, but that's not what I'm talking about right now. Why are we increasing these numbers?
COMMENT: To bring about the numerical value of Tevunah.
PASTOR VITALE: To what?
COMMENT: TO 63.
PASTOR VITALE: Excellent, excellent.
We are told that the numerical value of Tevunah is 63, but when we first take a look at it, it is only what? What was the numerical value of Tevunah when we started increasing her?
COMMENT: She was 15.
PASTOR VITALE: She was 15, alright.
Now she has increased to...well Tevunah was 15. Actually, she has increased beyond that. That final HeY was 15. She has now increased to 20, right here, then the inside of the HeH (10) is another 10 so that would be 30, and the outside of the 5 that went down, that which was 15 is now actually increased to 35 if you want to take the whole. Did you follow what I just said? But remember that HeY (15), we divided into a 10 and a 5, and right now we are saying that the inside of the 5 alone has increased to 20. Is everybody OK?
Drawing #1b, the top is the same except...well let me go back to 1a for a minute. Binah is YOD, HeY, VaV, and Tevunah is just that final H. On Drawing #1b, we have taken this VaV (13) which belongs to Binah, and Tevunah has acquired it. In Drawing #1b, Binah now consists of only the YOD and the HeY, and Tevunah now possesses the VaV which is the third letter of the Holy Name, and the second HeH which is the fourth letter of the Holy Name, but everything has expanded.
The VaV and the final H has expanded, how have we doubled these letters, what have we done to these letters to double them, can you tell us?
COMMENT: Given them an outside and an inside.
PASTOR VITALE: We have given them an outside and an inside.
So we see that Drawing #1b is really expanding. We have a VaV (13), the inside, and a VaV (13, the outside, and then we have HeH (10) inside, and then we have HeH (10), the outside, and then we have H (5), the inside, and all that's above the line in Ze'ir Anpin's left ear, and below the line we still have the H (5) that's the outside. Everything is getting bigger, and we see that Binah is descending into Tevunah because we have taken the VaV which was a part of Binah, and this VaV is now in the place where Tevunah originally was. It is moving down, Binah is moving down. Is everybody OK?
Going back to Drawing #1a, you see this inside of the HeH (10) is alone. The outside of the HeH (10) joined to the H (5), so now the inside of the HeH (10) is along. Everybody see that? We took the outside of the HeH (10), and we joined it to the inside of the H (5), see now the inside of the HeH (10) is alone. Can you see that? We are splitting up these insides and outsides.
Now coming back to drawing #1b, we see that we are going to fulfill the inside of this HeH (10). How are we going to fulfill or marry the inside of this HeH (10)? We are going to take the outside from the letter above. We are going to do the same thing that we did, or a similar thing, that we did with the inside of the H (5). We took a layer of the next letter above, and the next layer above the inside of the H (5) happens to be the outside of the HeH (10), and that the inside of the HeH (10) is all alone, so we are going to marry it to the outside of the VaV (13).
Back to #1b, we see here that we married this inside of the HeH (10). Do you see it right here, inside of the HeH (10)? We married it to the outside of the VaV (13). That HeH (10), that inside of this HeH (10) over here, it reached up and it drew down unto itself the outside of the VaV (13). Can you see that? But we have the same problem over here with the marriage between the outside of the VaV (13) and the inside of the HeH (10), we have the same problem that we had with the marriage of the outside of the HeH (10) to the inside of the H (5). That which is underneath the HeH (10) is smaller than that which is above the VaV (13), so what do we have to do?
COMMENT: We have to increase the bottom.
PASTOR VITALE: We have to increase the...what is this called?
COMMENT: The HeH (10).
PASTOR VITALE: By now much?
COMMENT: 3.
PASTOR VITALE: OK, so now the whole numerical value of the inside of the HeH (10) becomes what?
COMMENT: 13.
PASTOR VITALE: Becomes 13. And 13 below, the inside plus 13 of the outside of the VaV (13) is equal to?
COMMENT: 26.
PASTOR VITALE: So the whole HeH (10) which has now acquired the outside of the VaV (13) and increased by a numerical value of 3 now equals 26. Is everybody OK?
Now the numerical value of the rebuilt H(5) plus the rebuilt HeH (10) or the re-fortified HeH (10), the numerical value of the H (5), actually it is the inside of the H (5), and the whole HeH (10), what is that whole numerical value? Shall I phrase the question again? So now the numerical value of the inside of the H (5), the inside only of the H (5) plus the numerical value of the inside and the outside of the HeH (10), the total numerical value of actually the whole of that HeY (15), except the outside the outside of the H (5) that went down, what is the numerical value of the whole HeY (15), inside and outside, except for the outside of the H (5) that went down into the nose? The total numerical value is now what?
COMMENT: 46.
PASTOR VITALE: Excellent.
Tevunah acquires the VaV (13) from Binah, so this whole VaV (13) is no longer Binah. She is a part of Tevunah. The outside of the VaV (13) joins with the inside of the HeH (10), and the inside of the HeH (10) increases by 3 to accommodate the numerical value of 13 of the outside of the VaV 13 which is above her, and the inside of the HeH (10) is now equal to 26. Thirteen plus 13 is 26, and the whole...actually, I'm going to have to change this...and the whole HeY (15) except for the outside of the H (5) has increased to 46.
So we see that the whole HeY (15), minus the outside of the H (5) that went down into Adam Kadmon's nose now has a numerical value of 46. Of course, the outside of the 5 that went down into Adam Kadmon's nose brings the numerical value up to 51. We have a numerical value of 12 to acquire to say that Tevunah is equal to 63. If everybody is OK we will take a picture, and we will go on to the next step.
Drawing #2, can anybody tell us what happened over here? There was a HeY (15) over here. Remember Binah was YOD (20), and HeY (15), and then Tevunah was the VaV (13), and the HeY (15) on the bottom, so any anyone tell us what happened to this HeY (15) that was in Binah?
COMMENT: It split into an H (5) and a Y (10).
PASTOR VITALE: OK.
As I told you when I taught this the first time, I do not find any explanation in our textbook as to why the HeY (15) split into a H (5) and a Y (10) as opposed to a H (5) and a HeH (10). Does anyone know what I'm talking about here? OK, we had a numerical value of 15. That means we could split it into a 5 and a 10, and both the HeH spelling of the letter H and the simple YOD have a numerical value of 10. So that means we had a choice. If we are breaking a 15 dollar bill into a 10 and a 5, we had a choice of expressing that 10 dollar part as a YOD or as the letter H spelled HeH.
Let me put that on the board for you. We are going to deal with Drawing #2b first, and the Lord has told me to use true or false to help you to understand this. Mathematical statements can be true or false, so let's do a true or false quiz. We are just going to go around the room here. HeH has a numerical value of 10, is that true or false?
COMMENT: True.
PASTOR VITALE: OK. True.
The simple YOD has a numerical value of 10, is that true or false?
COMMENT: True.
PASTOR VITALE: True.
Therefore, if HeH equals 10 and YOD equals 10, is it true or false that HeH (10) equals YOD (10)?
COMMENT: True.
PASTOR VITALE: True. Very good.
So we now see HeY equals 15, is that true or false?
COMMENT: True.
PASTOR VITALE: True.
HeY equals 5 plus 10, is that true or false?
COMMENT: True.
PASTOR VITALE: True.
So HeY (15) which equals 5 plus 10, is it true or false that HeY (15) is equal to H (5) plus HeH (10)?
COMMENT: True.
PASTOR VITALE: True.
And is it true that HeY (15) can also equal H (5) plus YOD (10)?
COMMENT: True.
PASTOR VITALE: True.
That means we have a choice when we are breaking down this HeY (15), we can express that numerical value of 15 either as H (5) plus HeH (10) or H (5) plus YOD (10), and they are both going to equal 15. So that means we have our choice. If we want to breakdown that HeY (15) into a 5 and a 10, we have a choice. There are two ways that I know of on this board right now that we can express that 5 and the 10. Either H (5) plus YOD (10) or H (5) plus HeH (10). We have a choice. Can everybody see that?
What I'm telling you is that up until now, when we broke down the HeH (15) of Tevunah what did we break it into? How did we break that 5 and 10, and how do we express that 5 and 10. When we broke down the HeY (15) of Tevunah, we broke it into a 5 and a 10. How did we express that?
COMMENT: We did 10 on the outside and 5 on the inside.
PASTOR VITALE: No, say the letter. We had a HeY (15), we had an HeY (15), and we broke it into a 5 and a 10. How did we do it here?
COMMENT: We made it an HeH (10) and then into an H (5).
PASTOR VITALE: Very good, very good.
So as we progress with our calculations here, and now on 2a we see that the HeY (15) of Binah is broken down into a 5 and a 10. What is the difference between the way our textbook broke the final H which is Tevunah down into a 5 and a 10 which is told the Tevunah was broken into a HeH (10) plus a H (5), but when we are looking up here at Binah, we see the first HeY, the HeY of Binah, not the HeH of Tevunah that this HeY (15) of Binah, how was that broken into 5 and 10? Was it broken into 5 and 10 the same way as it was in Tevunah?
COMMENT: No, Tevunah was HeH, and H (5), and up there Binah is H (5) plus YOD (10).
PASTOR VITALE: Right, can you see that?
We are dealing with the Holy Name, SaG (63), YHVH. We have two H's in that name, and they are both HeY (15). Now when we deal with the HeY (15) in Tevunah, and we break it down into 5 and 10, we broke it down into a H (5) plus a HeH (10), but when our textbook breaks down the first H which is a part of Binah, the first HeY (15) which is a part of Binah, it breaks it into H (5) plus YOD (10). I'm telling you that the textbook, so far, has not told me why, but what is coming to me today...well, what I told you on a previous message is that we will see that there are two parts of this YOD (10) that is going to be drawn down into Tevunah.
So what I told you on a previous message was the only answer I could think of, and it wasn't God telling me that, was that it is less complicated to take two parts of a single letter than to take two parts of a compound letter. HeH (10) is a compound letter. HeH (10) is a letter that consists of three letters. Can you see that? OK. But what just came to me now, and I'm going to go with what came to me now, because this is a word that I think that the Lord has given me, is that the first HeY (15) is broken down into a H (5), and a YOD (10) simply to distinguish it from the second HeY (15) which is broken into a HeH (10) and a H (5).
So when we see H (5) and YOD (10), we know we are dealing with Binah, and when we see HeH (10) and H (5), we know we are dealing with Tevunah, and I believe the Lord just told me that. Is everybody OK? I would like to finish this up if we can. I know it is very late, but I have it on the board.
So now the outside of the VaV (13) has come down to complete the inside of the H (10). I'm on Drawing #2a. The outside of the VaV (13) has now joined with or married or completed the inside of the HeH (10). Is everybody OK? So we have the inside of the VaV (10) that's left all by itself. Tevunah took the outside of the VaV (13) to complete the inside of the HeH (10) so the inside of the VaV (13) is now alone, and nothing can be left alone because you cannot have an outside without an inside. Yet, we now are approaching the numerical value that we want, and we don't want to take the whole....if we take the whole of the HeY (15) from Binah down into Tevunah, the numerical value will be too high.
Remember what we are doing here is we are manipulating the Hebrew letters for the specific purpose of having Tevunah equal what?
COMMENT: 100.
PASTOR VITALE: No, 63.
So we don't want the whole HeY (15), we don't want the inside, or we don't want the outside of the whole HeY (15) of Binah. It will make the numerical value for our present calculation which is designed to show that Tevunah is equal to 63, if we take the outside of the HeY (15) of Binah we will have too many numbers. The numerical value will be too high.
So the Kabbalists broke the HeY (15) into a 5 and a 10, and they took only two parts of the 10. Now, I'm told in the textbook that because the inside of the VaV (13) only took two parts of the YOD (10), we can still say that the HeY (15) remains in Binah. We can still say that the outside and the inside of the HeY (15) remains in Binah. We only took two out of a numerical value of 15; therefore, we can say that the whole HeY (15) remains in Binah. We only took two parts of it and drew it down into Tevunah. Everybody OK?
See we want to stop drawing numerical value from Binah. Why? Because we have enough numerical value in Tevunah. We are looking to acquire a numerical value of 63. OK, so we don't need the whole outside of the HeY (15) of Binah. We only want two parts of it. You have a question?
COMMENT: If you take two parts of it, wouldn't that be YOD (8).
PASTOR VITALE: It will leave it YOD (8), but for....I can't explain it to you.
I cannot explain to you why the Kabbalists leave the YOD (10) up there. We will take those two points into consideration when we do our numerical calculations at the next meeting. We are not going to do it tonight, but I'm just doing it the way they did it. They leave the YOD (10) up there, and my best understanding is that you just take two points from it, and it doesn't disturb the numerical value of the YOD, and the Kabbalists, very frequently, play with one. In other words, if they want to calculate a numerical value, and we will see this when we show that the number 100 is in Tevunah. I don't think we even did that the first time yet. That's what we will do after our review.
We show that Tevunah, not only equals 63, but Tevunah equals 100. When we get up to that, you will see that when we add up all the numbers they really add up to 101. So what the Kabbalists say is, well, all the numbers add up plus 1 for the whole so it is OK. We have an extra 1. So to the best of my knowledge, I don't see any explanation for this in the book, but it was very alert of you to, very astute of you to pick it up.
This is my feeling at this point unless the Lord corrects me, that you must take 2 out of 10 and the YOD really isn't damaged. You see, if you took the 2 points away from the YOD it wouldn't be a YOD any more. It would be a different letter, but they want it to be the YOD, so they are playing with these two points. That's the best I can do for you. It is fuzzy math.
We took these 2 points from the YOD, both the inside and the outside came down, and you can see they came down, and they joined to the inside of the VaV (13). We have the inside of the VaV (13) divided into a 10 and a 3. I think maybe I'm going to let this go for next time. This is the most difficult of everything that we have done so far, and it is 11:30, and I think you are all saturated. Let's just take a picture and I'm going to close the meeting for tonight.
